Seriously. All that distraction is a major turn-off. And the coverage of the internet can't be mocked enough.

I have an idea: a TV news station that does lavish, gritty, long and uninterrupted coverage of major events. War, political uprisings, disasters, great works of human ingenuity. Sparsely narrated with a moratorium on crawls & flashy crap. Few if any talking heads. If no TV-worthy events occur, they show the highlights of the last one rather than maintain 24-hour hysteria. The longer cuts would be compensated by the lack of twitter coverage, so the ad slots would be unchanged. Stylistically, it'd like The Big Picture for TV.
